I love the applique! Sooooooooo super duper cute. Can you tell I like it? When I see something I like, I tend to use the same adjectives over and over. And out come the "super" and "duper" and "totally", and I end up sounding like a valley girl.

I didn't use a pattern. All I did was measure the width and height needed for all the sides. I sewed the front and back to the top first, then sewed the sides on. Put the red trim on by sewing it to the wrong side of the bottom edge, and flipped it up, folded it under about a half inch. Ironed it, pinned it down and then came the rick rack. After that I sewed the applique on.

too adorable!! You are so creative with your design!!! I'm going to have to do this for mine, but I'll not steal yours, I'll try to make my own which I'm SURE will pale in comparison! 2 cookies for you!
